Taco Bell CEO: Cool Ranch tacos on the way

(CBS News) Greg Creed, chief executive officer of Taco Bell, announced on "CBS This Morning" that Cool Ranch tacos are on the way.

"We've got Cool Ranch. That's coming," he said. "That's my tease."

Taco Bell made headlines last year for introducing tacos with a Doritos shell for its 50th anniversary. Cool Ranch is a flavor of Doritos, so it would appear the brand is taking the partnership with longstanding partner Frito-Lay even further.

Creed said on "CBS This Morning," "We started working with Frito-Lay a number of years ago. For our 50th anniversary, we wanted to celebrate the taco. And you know, there had been no innovation in tacos. So we sat down with Frito-Lay, they obviously own Doritos, they're our great partners. Two years later, we launched the Doritos Locos Taco, which ... is the biggest launch in Taco Bell."
